Verdict: carrot
In 1988, I was in Year 11 of school, oblivious to much of what went on beyond my world of friends, school, boys, music and fashion. I knew there were wars, famines and other catastrophic events happening, but as is the way of most teenagers, I heard, nodded, and forgot. The Orchard of Lost Souls took me back to my teenage years and showed me how other ordinary people lived (and still live today) in a place far from ordinary as I knew it then and know it now. It’s an evocative tale, beautifully told, and I am glad my eyes are open now for this insight.
